Living the Questions 1 is a study for the countless people of faith who have suffered in silence as the voices of fear and certitude claim to profess the unchanging truth of Christianity. Its purpose is to provide a resource for the discussion of what is already believed and practiced by many faithful people still holding on within institutional religion, while harboring a conviction that what the church teaches isn’t the whole story. It may even be for those who are called “believers in exile” — those who have left the church because of its refusal to take their questions or life’s situation seriously. It is not intended to spell out new doctrine or create new dogma but to serve as a catalyst to perhaps crack open the door to the future.
This study is not for:
The issues and concepts discussed in the DVD and written material will challenge many people’s worldview and understanding of the Divine. For some it will be radically new information. For others, it will be an affirmation of what they’ve known deep down for a long time.
Living the Questions seeks not to provide easy answers, but to be a resource for people who are in the midst of a life-long conversation about the mysteries of faith and life.
This series has 3 seven week sessions. We will do the first session in 2008 on Wednesday evenings during June (11, 18, 25), July (16, 23, 30) and August (6). We will begin with an orientation session on Saturday May 31 from 10 am until 11 am. The other two sessions of Living the Questions 1 will take place during 2009.
Materials for registration will be in the entry to the church beginning the first Sunday in May and you may turn them in any time prior to the end of May.
